The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provided suffrage for women in 1920. Although the Fifteenth Amendment had given suffrage to every American citizen, women were not covered in that legislation. The Nineteenth Amendment, included 'by gender' as one of the discriminations that could not be allowed to stop a citizen from voting.
